2009 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · YR09 XGL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The last MOT conducted on 22 November 2022 at 99,770 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in a good mechanical state at that time. However, as three and a half years have passed since this official check, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and requires an immediate inspection before purchase. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,869 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between July 2019 at 95,445 miles and May 2021 at 99,173 miles, where only 3,728 miles were covered over two years. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidew, as well as potential corrosion on brake discs. The history shows two failures in 2019 and 2021 that were rectified immediately to pass re-tests. Since the specific reasons for these failures are not listed in the summary, a buyer must physically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, which is common on this generation of Clio. Given the age and low usage, the inspector should also check for perished seals, seized brake calipers, and leaking fluid hoses as these components frequently fail on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
